  • Increase collaboration between departments, chairman’s office and regions to optimize private sales (both for consignments and sales), working to review key clients and regions for activation of private sale opportunities
  • Project manage key private sales projects and initiatives for the region
  • Work with the Sales Director and International Jewels Private Sale Specialist to identify and address process improvements, resource needs and business efficiencies to eliminate roadblocks and catalyze growth

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
